Underground Books – 23rd Feb 2010

Very Valentine by Adriana TrigianiThis is the first in a trilogy of stories about the Roncalli and Angelini families who live between Manhattan and Italy.

It’s a romantic story with plenty of twists and turns. This might not be my kind of novel but I think it must have a mass appeal. I’m sure I’ll see plenty more people reading this in the months to come.

Freakonomics by Steven D Levitt & Stephen J DubnerThis is a fascinating book as it takes a look at life from a different angle.

It gives an understandable way of ‘getting’ statistics and probabilities and is a very engaging book. Well worth a read.

The Bourne Identity by Robert LudlumJason Bourne is famous for being played by Matt Damon in the movies. However this is where the ideas for the films came from and is a compelling read.

There is more detail in the book and the storyline is very different but this isn’t so bad, there are no time limits with a book as with a film.

Settle down, strap in and prepare for a gripping roller coaster ride.

A Piece of Cake by Cupcake BrownThis is on the New York Times best seller list.
